Access local website from another computer in the same network

I recently wrote a web using Flask, and made the host='0.0.0.0', port=5000.

I can access the web with 127.0.0.1:5000 or localhost:5000 or 192.168.1.12:5000(my IP), but I can only do this with the computer that runs the codes.

How can I access the website from another PC in the same LAN? I have tried all the method I can find online. But none of them worked.

I'm running the code on windows 10. Please help!

Maybe Windows Defender Firewall or antivirus is blocking connection from outside. Try disabling it (or, better configure it to allow connections only to your service).

To access the website from another PC only works with your IPv4 adress. So only 192.168.1.12:5000 would work. But it looks like the port 5000 is blocked. Maybe it's blocked by a virus protection. Try a port like 80 or 8080.
